If this is the face she has when she turns 25, I dread the face she'll earn by the time she's 50.)

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, has revealed that she has nowhere to live and nothing to eat after she was suspended for taking part in a disruptive anti-Israel protest at Columbia University last week.
The 21-year-old was among the more than 100 people arrested and summoned for trespassing by NYPD officers after the group of demonstrators set up a tent encampment on the Ivy League school’s campus to protest Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists.
Now, after being temporarily booted from the prestigious, $90K-per-year Barnard College, Hirsi said that she’s been evicted from campus housing and banned from using the dining hall.
“I was a little bit frantic, like, where am I going to sleep? Where am I gonna go? And also all of my s–t is thrown in a random lot. It’s pretty horrible,” she told Teen Vogue.
“I don’t know when I can go home, and I don’t know if I ever will be able to.”
Hirsi said that when she sought help from administration staff at Barnard, she heard crickets.
“I sent them an email like, ‘Hey, I rely on campus for my meals, I rely on my dining plan,’ and they were like, Oh, you can come pick up a prepackaged bag of food, a full 48 hours after I was suspended,” she said. “There was no food support, no nothing.”
Hirsi was hauled away in cuffs by the NYPD Thursday afternoon after the protesters erected a tent city on campus.
By late afternoon Thursday, the protests had dispersed, and cleaning crews were brought in to disassemble and remove dozens of tents that littered the campus.
“We had so many people who were born female in our group that they didn’t have enough space for us,” Hirsi told Teen Vogue of her arrest. “It was a very slow process in getting everybody into the cells.
“I was zip-tied for about seven hours and wasn’t released for about eight,” she added.
Hirsi also slammed Barnard’s president Laura Rosenbury.
“I think it’s really on a school-by-school basis, and Barnard has decided to take a very egregious stand against us,” Hirsi said.
She added that Rosenbury’s leadership “feel like there isn’t a big limelight on them right now and that they have the ability to do this, because [Columbia President Minouche] Shafik was on the congressional stage and is actively being harassed about what she’s doing.”
Hirsi’s mother has since spoken out about her daughter’s arrest, saying she is “enormously proud” of her taking a stand.
